General Football & Sports / The World Cup - If you had to choose a 2nd team to cheer for, who would it be?

As a Canadian born and raised, my English friend got me into football 12 years ago. He was obviously a lifelong Baggies fan who visited the Hawthorns often as a kid growing up and thus my attachement to the club. It didn't hurt that the first match I ever watched was a 3 to 2 away victory against Arsenal way back in 2010.
As a Canadian it's easy to have a 2nd or 3rd team to cheer for because haven't made the world cup for 3 decades so we always had to find another nation to cheer for. I assume it's all England all the time and we don't care about anyone else for most English fans..lol.
I will be cheering for England because of my good friend. Our beer league soccer team also has a spanish guy who's a really good guy on it, so I will cheer for Spain because of our friendship. I lived in Germany for a year in my youth, so I still have a soft spot for the Germans although I know that won't go over well on this forum..lol.
So I ask you, in the group phase of the world cup, what teams will you be rooting for when England doesn't play? We're a massive underdog and easy to cheer for. I welcome anyone who wants to cheer on Canada. It comes with low expectations so there won't be much disappointment if we don't fair well!
